Outdoor Film on Stetson Green

JAMFest comes to campus with an outdoor screening of Under African Skies, on the Stetson Green, adjacent to the Carlton Union Building, 8:00 pm on Friday, June 19.

This 2012 documentary traces the making of Paul Simon’s 1986 album “Graceland,” which was recorded in South Africa and features a number of musicians from that country. The showing is free and open to the public; free popcorn will be provided, while the supplies last. Bring a blanket or lawn chair and enjoy the music under DeLand skies.

The screening on the Stetson Campus is co-sponsored by the DeLand Area Chamber of Commerce, Enzian Theater, Gillespie Museum, and Mainstreet Art and Culture, DeLand (MACDeLand) . It is one event in a full month of artistic and cultural festivities--including live music, art, spoken word & dance competitions, and Juneteenth celebrations.
